Zambia hires plane to evacuate nationals from Libya

The Zambian government says it has hired a plane to evacuate Zambians from Libya.
Foreign Affairs minister Kabinga Pande told journalists in Lusaka Saturday that all the 42 Zambians will be evacuated.
He did not say when the process will begin or what plane has been hired.
Just a day ago, Kabinga reported to parliament that Zambians inn Libya were safe.
A day before that, information had emerged that Zambia had tried to hitchhike from Malta for its trapped citizens.
